Drain Me

Folder: 
Pain

I watch the water drain free

from the tub

how I wish it would take my

pain & convictions away

with it down that little hole

as I sit with emotionless motion

I watch the water dry slowly

on top of my skin

I don't want to move I don't

want to disturb the solitude

of my porcelan blanket

I just want to sit

I want to cry

I want to scream

I want her to understand

the world does not revolve

around her

Oh you said a mouth full with this one; that should go both ways.

This poem has a good understanding to it, these lines
I want her to understand
the world does not revolve
around her
lol, this is the problem us women have at a very moment in time, a girl thinks everything revolves around her, I hate being that way sometimes, it gets on my husbands nerves.
